On Friday, June 3, 2016, First Lady Mae Lawrence Blake wowed the attendees of the 66th Annual COGIC Women’s Convention in Detroit, MI with her speech titled, “The Power and Value of Prayer.”

Lady Mae spoke candidly about triumphs, challenges, and the power to overcome through prayer.

“Praying is one of the most important things we can do because it brings us into the presence of God,” said Lady Mae. “If you hold your peace, prayer and the Bible can bring you out of some difficult times.”
